boxplot - margin settings
boxplot() isn't passing extra parameters in the way you'd expect. If you set par() first, it works fine. mar.orig <- par()$mar # save the original values par(mar = c(20,4,4,4)) # set your new values boxplot(data, las = 2) par(mar = mar.orig) # put the original values back Sarah

Hi there, I'm trying to solve a boxplot problem (should be simple, but I cannot find the solution...): data <- list( ? "long_name1_xxxxxxxxxxx" = rnorm(100), ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?"long_name2_yyyyyyyyyyyyyy" = rnorm(200)) boxplot(data , las = 2, mar = c(20,4,4,4)) Why does the margin not change whatever I put there??? With other plots it worked for me, why not in this case? I just want to see the whole label... I'm really sorry if I've missed a very obvious reason for this behaviour. Maybe someone can help me?
